TTC fares are $3.35 for a one-ride PRESTO ticket and $13.50 for a PRESTO Day Pass.

Toronto streetcars offer accessible features such as low floors and accessible stops. Look for the blue International Symbol of Access displayed on the side of the streetcar, at the second door. These streetcars also have blue lights on the front. Keep in mind that not all stops are accessible, so you may not be able to get on or off exactly where you like.
